No, I haven't seen anything from "Ray."  Do you guys do any email filtering?  Hosted or on premise?

Subject: [SECURITY] are you getting spam from "Ray"

We have been getting spammed lately by Ray () stopsclimatechange org.  The topic of his spam is not always Climate 
Change but ranges over cultural issues and is characterized by capitalizing most everything.  The email host's web site 
shows a PO box in Bronxville for "Ray C", but his latest missive received here mentioned local info about our little 
town.

Is this a "personal" problem for us or does Ray spread his spam more widely?
